Mobile Acceleration Market - Global Industry Analysis, Size, Share, Growth, Trends and Forecast 2012 - 2018
Published 04 February 2016
While application acceleration is a known concept, the idea of mobile acceleration is rather new and the market for the same is still in its nascent stage, proving immense scope for growth. 
 
Mobile acceleration refers to the set of processes aimed at optimizing and accelerating web, content, network, and applications on a mobile phone. With the ultimate goal of improving user quality of experience (QoE) and overall business strength, mobile acceleration helps network providers overcome challenges such as round trip time (RTT) and latency and enhance performance, scalability, and availability for mobile users. The shift of desktop users to mobile-based platforms has been tremendous, given the surge in global data consumption combined with the need for mobility. While these factors have led to the emergence of mobile acceleration, soaring mobile data traffic and increasing penetration of mobile devices is expected to augment the growth of the mobile acceleration market in the coming years.
 
The development of the global mobile acceleration market is evident from the presence of a large number of small, medium, and large enterprises. Some of the prominent players operating in the mobile acceleration market are Flash Networks Inc., Akamai Technologies, Riverbed Technology Inc., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., Mobixell Networks Inc., Limelight Networks Inc, Juniper Networks Inc., Yottaa Inc., Circadence, Nokia Siemens Networks, Propel Software Corporation, and F5 Networks Inc.
 
Mobile Acceleration Market: Akamai as a Case Study
 
The rapid pace of the mobile revolution has resulted in a major challenge: The adoption rate of mobile technology has outpaced the ability for network-connected native applications and mobile websites to meet the rising expectations of mobile subscribers. The result is a delay in end user experience, timeouts, user dissatisfaction, and brand infidelity.
 
 
Akamai Technologies, together with Verizon Terremerk, brought to the market a set of mobile acceleration services that aim to not only enhance mobile subscriber experience but also improve the adoption of mobile applications and websites whether on cellular data connections or on Wi-Fi. Mobile Accelerator, as the collective services are called, is built on Akamai Intelligent Platform and provides a number of benefits such as greater mobile performance, improved user engagement, and enhanced channel efficiency. Mobile Accelerator has helped companies reduce infrastructure expenditure and has curbed the cost and hassles of managing and licensing device databases. 
 
In March 2012, Akamai launched the Aqua Mobile Accelerator to help online businesses alleviate the content-provider challenges such as latency, unpredictable network conditions, and packet loss. 
 
Segmentation of the Mobile Acceleration Market
